1) Let me bring FU type clarity to the "reasonable reforms" argument.
I have talked to everyone in DC about this. They are idiots. Not making mistakes, just plain allowing the IC to tell them nonsense. So, let me be clear.

2) Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified April 27, 2023, more than 3.4 million search queries into the NSA database took place between Dec. 1st, 2020 and Nov. 30th, 2021, by government officials and/or contractors working on behalf of the federal government.
3) These search queries were based on authorizations related to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and 702 search authorization.

4) This is the last available set of data for the FISA 702 process. It lags behind about a year, and as soon as the 2024 debate is resolved, we will get the data from 2023.

5) Approximately 30% of those 3.4 million search queries were outside the rules and regulations that govern warrantless searches, what the politically correct government calls “non-compliant searches.”
6) That means more than 1 million searches of private documents and communication of Americans were illegal and outside the EXISTING rules and/or laws.
You really think a process where 10,000 violations were recorded in 2016, and has now exploded to 1,000,000 can be reformed?

7) Horowitz also admitted that somewhere north of 10,000 federal employees have access to conduct these searches of the NSA database; a database which contains the electronic data of every single American, cont....
8) ...including emails, text messages, social media posts, instant messages, direct messages, phone calls, geolocation identifiers, purchases by electronic funds, banking records and any keystroke any American person puts into any electronic device for any reason.
9) In 2018 CTH revealed that FBI and DOJ/FBI contractors had done more than 1,000 illegal searches using the NSA database, targeting Republican primary candidates from Nov 2015 through May 2016. These stunning admissions were from the NSA's own reporting to the FISA court.
10) Although the number of the illegal search queries were redacted, we know the number is four digits from the size of the redacted text. More than 1,000 and less than 9,999. 
11) FAST FORWARD TO 2023 – April 27, 2023, IG Horowitz outlined that more than 1.1 million illegal FISA-702 searches of this database were conducted in 2021 during the first year of the Joe Biden administration.
@SpeakerJohnson !!! Hello ????
@SpeakerJohnson !!! Hello ????
@SpeakerJohnson 12) Perhaps more consequentially, to give scope to how the process of total domestic surveillance has expanded, Horowitz now admits in 2023 the number of federal government employees with access to this total metadata collection system now exceeds 10,000 people.
@SpeakerJohnson 13) Here's my point...
The basic questions are not being asked or have perhaps just become so accepted that legislators have become oblivious to the insanity of it.
Beyond the blood boiling questions about searching the NSA database, questions like:

@SpeakerJohnson In order for these search queries to take place, there has to be a housing facility to capture it.
Where is all of this data being stored?
Why is all of this data being stored?
Who is in control of this all-encompassing data collection?
Forget the searches for a moment....

@SpeakerJohnson 15) What act of congress authorized the capture of this private data collection? Essentially electronic intercepts of communication systems that flow throughout our life.

@SpeakerJohnson 16) "The right of the people to be secure in their ... papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause"...
@SpeakerJohnson 17) If the OIG is now admitting FISA laws have been so comprehensively corrupted such that 3.4 million searches by more than 10,000 federal employees and govt contractors now have access, there is no way that any reasonably intelligent person should support such reauthorization.
@SpeakerJohnson 18) President Trump is right. "KILL FISA"!
